Five countries boycotted the "Eurovision" song contest due to Israel's participation in the competition.
This was reported by the BBC.
The report states: "Although 35 countries will participate in the 2026 competition, the broadcasting companies of Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Iceland, and Slovenia have refused to participate in the event in protest of Israel's inclusion in the competition."
According to the publication, some countries made the boycott decision in protest against Israel's military operations in Gaza, while others accused the Israeli government of genocide.//Bizim.Media
